I still didn't see any answers for Layer-0 boots, so anyone handled them?

Also another question, I'm about to purchase a pair of Layer-0 boots but toe box/ ball of foot on sole is curved.

(http://www.pnp-firenze.com/wp/?projects=layer-0-cordovan-leather-boot-07-28)

boot measures 29cm long, my foot is just under 26 cm, is it too long? I never quite understood how ones feet curve upwards like that :/.

THANKS!

I've owned 2 pair of the AV-Field collab. Quality/Construction is pretty damn good for the price. A/W11 Layer-0 footwear was exceptional IMO.

That boot you linked should be true to size. 26/29 should be okay with that boot- I believe Layer-0 has a low instep (like Cdiem).

The boots will flatten out over time/ with wear.

Eckblk,

Wow this forum replies way quicker than stylezeitgeist lol.
You think so? even with 3 cm gap? from big toe to end of boot? I never quite understood the curve its like walking on a rocking chair

So many people advise a 3 cm gap is too much, and thing is they do not make size 39, 40 is the smallest for Layer-0, at 29cm....thats more like a 41.5 isn't it?.

dang it!

I wrote out my message

and then it wasn't posted!!!!!

people reply here way quicker than stylezeitgeisttttt

ok, basically I never understood how the curve works at the outset.... its like walking on a rocking chair lol

.

Also, I've been informed by many that having a foot just under 26cm, 29cm is too long length wise, but is it different for a boot with such a toebox and curve?

Sadly there is no size 39 as well for Layer-0, 40 is the smallest, and measuring at 29cm, isn't that like a size 41.5...?or close to 42

?

Thanks buddy!

What is your shoe size?

The Layer-0 boot looks to have more of a flatter toe box so you don't really want your feet jammed up all the way.

My normal toe box Cdiems (all size 41) all measure about 30cm~, my bubble toe Cdiem was barely 29cm. So many factors come into play besides outsole measurements and length of your foot.

shdws · Jan 7, 2012

ECKBLK,

Sorry I don't get your first line,

But I assume you mean is 40 my shoe size? generally I wear 41 in PS shoes, much pointier and all measure around 28-29cm (but they are pointy) compared to boots.

Roughly how long is your foot then? and I know what you mean, it just never makes sense to have your toes literally at the end of the boot tip.

I was told 0.5-1.5 cm is the way to go but that seems super close imo, but IDK im still new to boots

winston86dit · Jan 7, 2012

Honestly, going by the outsole measurement is never a good way to determine the way a shoe/boot will fit.

Also, .5cm is very little room for your precious feet. 1-1.5cm is definitely more forgiving.

As for those Layer-0's, I haven't tried on that exact model but I've tried on one similar in shape with a different leather. A lot of people say they fit big, but I would say more true to size, especially if you have anything close to wide feet. I'm a 45 and I tried on a 44 and it was snug and while they probably could've been broken in with some wear, they were pretty darn uncomfortable.

Took a shot at these Augusta in size 11 and yah it was a couple of sizes too big. Was hoping it fit like Guidis.

You get these from Barney's NY? Returning them?

As for Augusta sizing, it's been driving me nuts lately:

Size 44 sneakers at Atelier seem to fit.
Size 45 sneakers from Archive too small.
Size 11 boots I have from previous seasons too big.
Size 11 RFX boots I tried at barney's fit.

:fu:

hi Winston!

Ye...I def agree with you on the 0.5 cm, 1.5 seems more realistic, my dilemma is that my foot measures just less than 26 cm, boot 29cm, so 3 cm....maybe...too much...

?

And Layer-0 don't have anything smaller, from what I see, size 40 is it.

SO from your experience, where do the the tip of your toes end in such a toe box, obviously they don't go all the way up the shoe do they? like they must be a bit far back from the tip, otherwise....it just doesn't make sense....like totally unnatural to the shape of ones foot.

oneeightyseven · Jan 7, 2012

that's the reason I'm afraid to try augusta. I don't know of anywhere that sells them here in Toronto and buying online is a crapshoot with sizing

Synthese · Jan 7, 2012

I just want to say that I've been hugely impressed by my Augusta boots. Really well-made, solid construction, nice leather, etc. I'm not a huge fan of a lot of models, and I'm not convinced that I like the low heel, but if you have the money I'd definitely take the plunge. Here's (finally) a picture of my linen-over-leathers. They're hugely comfortable, too, and I found the sizing pretty easy. I think mine are older, but they're a UK9, which fits my US10.5/43CP/43RO just fine. I think eck's right, though - it seems like these could accommodate a foot both a size larger and smaller than mine, just because of the toe shape.

These are cool. Sole measurements?

http://www.daad-dantone.com/ Layer-0 on sale here, those assholes told me no sale on layer-0 on 12/31, yesterday 01/06 I check website and the boot is 30% off and my size is gone, I am really pissed about the CS of this place, but hope this saves someone some cash
